At the local store I saw an add for a 1960 for the price of. 395$ canadian.thoughts,thanks bush!
-
A 60 is a sweet shooting bow, but it's not a '59. The price is high to me. I just bought a Kodiak Magnum and a Black Bear for $50 a piece.
-
Well you got a hell of a buy at fifty bucks a piece. 395 is too much tho. 250- 300 is where id say its worth (to me anyways)
-
I never pay much more then that. I did pay $60 for a '62 Kodiak Special I ended up trading for a Flintlock.
-
I agree that the price is a bit high. If it was in like new condition maybe. Like Eddie, I buy Bear bows often for $50.00 or less often here in Michigan. Some folks price bows to sell and some price them to keep.
-
I have a 1967 1/2 kodiak. That's is nice and shoots great if someone is interested. It's alot more than 60 bucks . I give 400 for it
-
Read JEB's reply.
-
Ive always been able to sell bows at near what i bought them for. Round here they pretty well hold value. I cant speak for how it works in other areas but i know as fact that i bought a bow at a good deal a few years ago and could now sell it at a profit
-
Generally there are two types of sellers. ones who over price and over value items, and those who under price and undervalue items. When someone looks online and sees 5 bows for $300, they then post their bow at $300. The others throw theirs up for $50 and they get snatched up. the correct answer is they are worth whatever someone will pay for them. Be it $500 or $10.

Ive got to agree with internet prices skewing actual value. Im fortunate enough to be good friends with an archery tackle dealer so i dont get taken or accidentally make unfair deals (according to him) (bear in mind too my prices are in a northern canadian market)

Hahaha BC mate. Not Saskatchewan. I come from where you can pee outside and it freeze before it hits the ground xD haha
-
Thx's 4 the replies!at 400 bones I could buy a lot of osage and have more fun than shooting a glass bow.i think here in manitoba we have most people beat for prairie and cold!two winters ago we had over 90 days that were -35c and I worked out side every day!hardest part is to have a pee,finding it under all that cloths lol!recently they named the coldest part of Mars winnipeg!
-
I'm waiting to go back up to Alberta, the job proposal was submitted. I never get to go without seeing that white stuff on the ground. Something about mobilizing the drill rigs till the permafrost is frozen.
And I don't pee till I get back to Florida, too much trouble to shed clothes, get out a flash light, and squat.
-
Haha. No matter where yar in our true north strong and free.... it gets darn cold from time to time
-
, get out a flash light, and squat.
i never suspected you squatted >:D to pee.
-
^^ because prince albert?
-
Try getting feeling in your fingers and then finding it when it's minus 40.
-
i know all about minus forty... and unprepared yet in waist deep snow with a pack full of soon to be pelts on my back.. we only went out at -35. with the snow as it was a two hour snow shoe turned into a seven hour slug into the freezing night. we (my buddy and i) had two bottles of frozen water, a granola bar a piece and thank god he had the sense of mind to pack a lighter. i swear that fire we lit (with pocket lint as the starter) saved my toes from frostbite that day. ill never go out so stupidly unprepared again ill tell ya what.
-
Love the Winter, or ah well at least I used to....now I just like it. I remember one Winter some 20 years ago we had pretty well a month of -40 and more as an overnight low, it was a bit brutal.
-
It's stories like these that makes me want to say "I'll never complain about the Florida heat again", but of course I will so I don't say it, lol. Though as a way of demonstrating how cold it can feel in Jacksonville, Fl between the river and the sea I had a friend from Canada (can't recall quite where but I'm guessing a drier area) visiting, it was her first winter in north Florida, stepped outside one morning and said "Brr, must be 18deg out here", I asked her if she meant Fahrenheit, she said yeah and I proceeded to laugh, I said "It's only 37"...
-
HAHA, my cousin grew up in Green River Wyoming, she now lives in Vegas and complains about the cold. I have to remind her that her lows now were her highs in her childhood.
-
There is a truth to that. Minus fifteen celcius im fine to feed the dogs in a t shirt and shorts. I head down to the vancouver coast to see famiky and im bundled up and complaining at five above freezing
-
Yea, I've peeled out of clothes when I'm in Alberta when it warms up to 0 c, and didn't hunt the last weekend of the season in Ocala, Fl. because it was in the upper teens F.
I saw it was in the 40's in Alberta today, I guess I'll get the word to go when in drops into the - dgs.
